I am so good at chess
Why no one accepts rematches??
Sort:
are you ready to play
prolly because they are just mad that they lost ? and maybe because they think theyll lose again.
lets play later
text me later to play a match in chess
Most of the time, people rematch because they were angry they lost or won very badly and they think they can farm their opponent for elo, that's why people under 2500 shouldn't be rematching each other, unless it's unrated or you're playing against a training partner. The reason why top players or just people above 2500 rematch is because there's really no one else in the pool, you'll rarely play a player you haven't played before, even for me, a 2250 rated player in bullet, I'm already starting to play the same players over and over.
Usually because they don’t think they’d win again. Especially if they have to play with the black pieces.
I agree, at higher levels players are more likely to accept a rematch.
I do accept rematches in daily chess though. I agree with the opinion that daily players are in it for the enjoyment of playing and much less about ratings.

I just don't get it.
I'm guess a lot of my fellow players here follows chess content creators and pros, so surely we all see that most of them play matches instead of single games, right? Why almost no one likes to do the same?
In a lot of situations when I get to play a few games with someone, usually is a good experience because we both tend to use our favorite lines in each game, so you get to test your openings/defenses in a lot of ways. I think it's great training. You can even grasp how this other person approaches the game after a few games like "i see this dude is very tactical, let me try this closed line to see how he works that out" and that's interesting.
Sometimes we don't to play more, but declining rematches seems like a second nature behavior, no context needed. People seem to put so much ego in the game that they never accept a rematch offer if they lose. I don't even try it anymore. But many players also don't accept when they win, which always leave me with the feeling it's about the points and they don't want to risk giving them back? Or don't want to check if they were lucky in the 1st game? Or maybe they simply imagine the other player is foaming at the mouth and it's funny not to let him/her have his desired revenge. But sometimes we just want to play another game and there's nothing more. But what annoys me the most is when people declines a rematch after a draw. Come on guys, universal unwritten law, if it's a draw we play another, no?
Well, it doesn't seem to be the case. But it's a shame. Playing a series of games against someone is the moment where playing here comes a little closer to playing OTB in a bar or something, instead of playing a series of random flags and usernames. But what to do, I know it will keep being like that, guess I'm just venting. Peace
if the person doesnt have enough time for chess then rematches should not be accepted like say he only has enough time for one game thats what happens to me and i only accept rematches in 15+10 since it takes longer to find a pair
Personally I don't accept rematches because it cuts out people cheating to regain lost rating. I might accept a rematch if it was a good game but I'll check the account is sufficiently old enough to have probably been caught by the anticheat first.
probably because they destroyed you or scraped a win
1- people don't have time for another game
2- people want to review the game just played
3- people don't like the style or opening you played against them
4- some one else challenged them
5- they have a set time to play a friend, and that time is almost now.
6- people don't like getting razzed in chat, so don't want to play you again
7- they see a game being played between 2 of their favourite streamers/players and decide to watch that, instead of rematch.

I generally accept Rematches...the only times I don't is if I'm on a strict schedule...
The starting question should sound a bit different: Why people do not want rematch with ME? I for example never rematch against people who wasted my time and resigned 2 seconds before deadline while I have several minutes remaining or against those who send any offensive comments.
A few reasons I decline.
I like to check the game review. To analyse the game while it's fresh in my mind. Especially if there's a line I wasn't sure about and I want to see what other options were available.
I don't always like to play games back to back. Even if I'm playing for a while I'll take a 5 minute break in between games. I find when I do play back to back my concentration depletes. I'm on one of those breaks right now.
I have zero interest in revenge.
I might not enjoy the players style of play.
Why I might accept
I think they're an easy win or they're tilted. I really don't care about rating, at all. But on occasion I'm like, might as well pick up an easy W.
We've been having a good conversation. I'd be far more likely to accept if before the game was over the person asked me if I'd like to play best of 3. This has never happened. Once a guy told me playing me was like playing the computer so I offered him another game and talked him through the moves I was making as like a learning thing.
I enjoy their style of play. I find them original.
So that's why I almost never accept a rematch.
Hmm.... another rematch post. That's a rarity.
